The premise of the show follows a group of single men and women who go on dates with each other in pods where they can speak to each other but not see each other. If they form a strong enough romantic connection, they will become engaged - and only then will they meet and see what each other looks like for the first time.
Weeks later, after fast tracking their relationship, they will stand at the altar together and decide whether or not to commit to each other for a lifetime. . . Yes, just weeks after meeting they decide if they will legally get married or not.
The concept, unsurprisingly proved a big hit with reality TV viewers, who enjoyed watching the highs and lows of the relationships onscreen all before the nail-biting will they or won’t they moment when they are stood at the altar. There have now been seven series of the original US version, and also versions from other countries, including the UK.
The approach to dating is certainly bold, and those who opt to take part are brave. But, as the saying goes, fortune favours the brave. For a lucky few, the love experiment did work and they are still married now.

5. Bliss Poureetezadi and Zack Goytowski
Zack Goytowski and Bliss Poureetezadi didn't exactly have a fairytale start to their romance. They met on Love Is Blind season 4, but Goytowski ended up proposing to someone else. He quickly realised his mistake and proposed to Poureetezadi instead. The couple have been enjoying married life ever since. They announced in November 2023 they were expecting a baby girl.

6. Amy Cortés and Johnny McIntyre
Amy Cortés and Johnny McIntyre are the only couple who said yes to each other on Love Is Blind series 6 in 2024.

7. Garrett Josemans and Taylor Krause
Garrett Josemans and Taylor Krause were the first couple to get engaged in the pods during season 7, which came on Netflix in Autumn 2024. They bonded over their love of science and they had a strong relationship throughout, and although they hit a stumbling block when Josemans wasn't honest about texting an ex which triggered Krause's insecurites, the pair soon recovered when he apologised and said 'I do' to each other on their wedding day.

8. Daniel Hastings and Taylor Haag
Having joked about proposing on their first date, Daniel Hastings actually did later propose to Taylor Haag after their connection grew in the pods on season 8. They bonded over many shared values and interests including Christmas. Their romance faced a challenge, however, after they met in person as she couldn’t shake the feeling he had followed her on Instagram before the experiment. This was quickly proved not to be true, however, and the couple moved on - becoming the only couple in their season to say 'I do' at the altar. At the reunion, which was filmed a year after they tied the knot, they confirmed they are still happily married and have just bought their first home together. Then, in May 2025, they renewed their views and also welcomed a puppy called Sunny in to their family. Photo by Netflix. | Netflix Photo: Netflix
